A Facebook group set up for Dick Smith employees to share career opportunities has attracted more than 800 members, with a number of companies including Flight Centre, iiNet and Cotton On reaching out via the page.

“You have staff that had 10-20 year tenures that are in this predicament now,” former Dick Smith employee Graham McFarland told news.com.au last month.

“They haven’t done an interview in a long time, recruiters are saying it’s an employees’ market but we’re finding out it’s not.”

Last month, entrepreneur Ruslan Kogan purchased Dick Smith’s online store and intellectual property for an undisclosed sum. Kogan will take control of the Dick Smith website in June.

“We would like to thank the Dick Smith employees for their support during the controlled closure process,” receiver James Stewart said last week. “This is a difficult and uncertain time for them and we have really appreciated their commitment.”
